As the probe orbits the sun, it will experience extreme radiation with temperatures expected to reach 1,377C (2,510F), which is close to the melting point of steel . It will have to push itself in the opposite direction of the Earth at approximately 53,000 miles per hours to achieve that, and it will be forced to use another planet to help it achieve that goal.
